5. You need to transition from friends and fun until you get to where you say you want to be

6. Don’t act like you’ve got something you don’t. It will rob you of the drive you need to be successful

In cause you missed this gold nugget that ET said: (1:16) “I could just go cash me out and get a brand one [a tv]. But the reason I don’t do it is BECAUSE A HEALTHY SENSE OF SCARCITY IS GREAT. You get too much, you get everything … you lose your bite. I can’t afford to lose my bite.” This message totally resonated with me. Practicing scarcity is an effective method to reflect on many things such as … being grateful for our current gifts, to ask ourselves what is truly of value in our lives, how to live and manage life with less and how to innovate with less resources (good TED talk on frugal innovation). The Romans (famously the stoics) practiced what ET is talking about here that if you become to comfortable and get everything you want YOUR GOING TO LOSE YOUR BITE.
